Suddenly seeing more hexbear posts. Did we re-federate with them? - eviltoast

If so, was it polled somewhere?

    There are a finite number of bloodthirsty liberals for me to block, it can be done in time

    Note to anyone reading this: I don’t mean you if you engage in good faith and with genuine intellectual curiosity, you’re fine, this isn’t me saying “I block people who disagree with me”, because It would just be me in a corner with my ice pick in that case

    we all know the types I’m talkin about

      They’re irredeemable and I am quite upset about the entire thing but whatever. A lot of us voted in favor of federating with them but I’m too old to put up with reddit crap on my favorite online platform. Actually this is the only place I’m online and federating with a kkklanadian instance really kills my vibe

      A hexbear user complaining about people engaging in bad faith is just… y’all are on a different planet.

        literally 95% of my interactions with other instances’ liberals have been them saying something absurdly reactionary and not expecting to receive any pushback for having dogshit takes, and then going smuglord “Ohoho, the Hexbear tankie redfash have arrived to defend the CCP and Putler’s regime! Why am I not surprised!” without offering even the slightest counterargument because they know they have none

        we have cultivated a community of genuine good-faith discussion on Hexbear over the last three years and we aren’t about to lose it

          Y’all are exhausting, I don’t have the time or energy to engage with paragraphs over niche Internet drama because your lot doesn’t know how to play nice. Feels exactly like when we were federated with exploding-heads. Touch some grass.
